3 A car is travelling in a straight line on a horizontal road. A driving force, of magnitude 3000 N , acts in the direction of motion and a resistance force, of magnitude 600 N , opposes the motion of the car. Assume that no other horizontal forces act on the car.
  1. Find the magnitude of the resultant force on the car.
  2. The mass of the car is 1200 kg . Find the acceleration of the car. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{c022c936-72bc-4cf9-8f98-285f12c1d479-07_38_118_440_159}
